Sleeping out for change: supporting our charity of the year

On the evening of Thursday, 13 November 2025, members of our Private Wealth team and Managing Partner, Clare Harris, swapped their beds for sleeping bags at The Oval to take part in the Centrepoint Sleepout Challenge, an event that brings together hundreds of people to raise awareness and funds for young people facing homelessness.

This wasn’t just a fundraising event; it was an experience that offered an insight into the harsh realities thousands of young people endure every day. It reminded us why we are so passionate about supporting Centrepoint, Greenwoods’ current charity of the year, and the incredible work they do to provide safety, stability, and hope for a brighter future.

Thanks to the generosity and spirit of colleagues, clients, family and friends, we raised an impressive £2,736.92, with every pound representing a step towards helping young people escape homelessness and rebuild their lives.

This achievement wasn’t just about one night; it was the result of weeks of fundraising from different initiatives run across our offices.

On the night, we were easy to spot in our signature red Greenwoods bobble hats. But the real standout was the incredible support we received in making a meaningful difference.

Centrepoint’s mission is simple yet powerful: to give young people experiencing homelessness the chance to rebuild their lives. By participating in the Sleepout, the Private Wealth Team has played a small but meaningful part in supporting that mission.

Why Centrepoint matters

Centrepoint’s mission is simple yet powerful: to give young people experiencing homelessness the chance to rebuild their lives. Every year, thousands of young people in the UK face homelessness. Centrepoint provides not just shelter, but education, training, and emotional support to help them build a future. Events like the Sleepout raise vital funds and awareness, ensuring this work can continue.
